trombone music

hi guys i need your help. I am currently looking for music to do my recital for my second year at uni. i have some pieces but my music lecturer said i cant play them cause i played them four years ago. i need to find some trombone music pretty quickly. im looking for trombone and piano.

Hi, my one of my trombone pupils recently used Saint-Saens: Cavatine and Swashbuckler's Song from Hindemith: Sonate from Trombone for a recital and competition. They are ABRSM grade 8 standard. But, the Hindemith does sound great with the intricate piano part and the melodic lines in the Saint-Saens are beautiful. Hope this is of help to you.
(p.s - she won the competition!!! yey!!!)

Plenty of good suggestions so far - others you might want to look at are the Gordon Jacob Concerto and Sonata (although the Sonata might be considered a little "easy" for a second year recital); Bozza - "Hommage a Bach" is a nice recital piece, as is the Ewazen Sonata - very effective, and technically the solo part isn't difficult. The Grondahl Concerto is another one you might want to consider. Take a look at one of the easier Arthur Prior solos for a bit of light relief if you've got a "heavy" program.

Have you thought about doing any unacoompanied pieces - maybe a couple of movements from one of the Bach Cello Suites, the Malcolm Arnold "Fantasy" or something like Bernstein's "Elegy for Mippy II" ?

At the end of the day it's a recital now an exam (although I know it is) so it doesn't matter how hard the music is. I've heard Ian Bousfield play the simpliest arrangement of a song in a recital and it couldn't have been more than grade 5 standard but it was beautiful.

Unlike brass band contests, recitals (even those that are getting marked) are about giving a truley musical performance.
